Princess Leia Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Our oldest GP, Chris, died on Friday. He had never had a visit to the vet in his life, but had gone off his food a couple of days before and went downhill very fast. Old age, I guess - he was 5 1/2. Will miss the noisy little tyke - his favourite trick when hungry was to remove the metal food cup from it's holder with his teeth (hard enough to do two-handed) and run it along the bars of his cage - prisoner style.

Minnie&Moose Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Very sorry to hear about Chris - sounds like he was a lovely lad and that he had a long and happy life. He was very lovely looking - I've never seen a black guinea with a white patch like that before - ours were all much less distinguished looking.

Princess Leia Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 He was a pedigree American Crested GP, although he wasn't up to show standard. His mother had died shortly after he was born, so he was hand raised and was underweight and small for his type as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie&Moose Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Great that he lived so long after such a tricky start to life. Even if he wasn't up to show standard he was still stunning looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
